Thought Tweet #439 We ought to celebrate our Good Habits more often.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

People Only Do 3 Things: Good Habits, Bad Habits, & New Things.  Urged on by well-meaning friends, not-so-well-meaning foes, and perfect-image TV commercials - People often agonize over their Bad Habits. People ought to cut back on that and celebrate their Good Habits more often!

Thought Tweet #438

Thought Tweet #438 Negative thoughts happen when we resist 'what is'.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Negative emotions can hit us 'out of the blue' or 'in response to external stimuli'. When negative thoughts follow these negative emotions the negative thoughts are happening because we are resisting 'what is'.

Thought Tweet #435

Thought Tweet #435 On a Minus10-to-Plus10 Scale, how much do you like People?

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

On this topic, that is not the most important question. The most-important question is: when it comes to liking People, how are you trending? Is your 'liking of People' increasing, decreasing, or status quo? And...Why?

Thought Tweet #434

by Rick Baker

Thought Tweet #434 Sure it's difficult: that's why they call it work.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

But, Difficult should not mean Unpleasant.

Physically-difficult work burns up energy in muscles, etc. It strengthens the muscles...that's a good thing...unless you're lazy, in which case physically-difficult work would be annoying.

Cognitively-difficult work burns up energy in neurons and other places. It strengthens neuronal connections...that's a good thing...unless you're lazy...then work, again, would become annoying.

About being annoyed or stressed out, etc: the cause behind negative feelings is not work. So, let's not place the blame on work when, in fact, there is another culprit.
